Dark Maple Syrup

If you’re seeking a syrup to cook with, dark maple syrup is an excellent selection. While it makes a decadent topping when drizzled cold, its robust and intense caramel flavour doesn’t fade when heated, making it a much-loved ingredient for multiple dishes.

What is dark maple syrup?

Dark maple syrup is associated with a stronger maple taste. Unlike amber and golden maple syrups, dark syrup is produced in late winter and deeper in the spring as the tapping season progresses. Sugar levels in the sap decrease due to the warmer temperatures, giving the syrup its darker appearance.

What are the best uses for dark maple syrup?

Fans of intense flavours put dark maple syrup on pancakes, but it’s ability to retain its taste at high heats makes it popular for baked goods like cakes, cookies and flapjacks. However, it also adds depth to dressings for salad, sweetens coffees without being sugary and brings caramel notes to marinades for meats like chicken and pork.

What grade is dark maple syrup?
